Lilah E. Noir is an author of erotic novels and psychological stories with an edge and a dark vibe to them. Her work has elements of taboo, seduction, different aspects of the BDSM lifestyle, with a touch of romance and tenderness.
If you love flawed characters, submissive alpha females, unconventional dominant heroes, angst, emotional darkness, lots of kinky sex scenes her books might be your kind of pleasure.
I got to know Lilah E. Noir's writing through her "Unorthodox" series and was enthralled. So imagine my excitement when I was given the opportunity to read "Blood and Spice". A dark, magical, PNR that, at first, I had a hard time putting the pieces together. In my mind, I could picture it. The small town, the Cinnamon Bookshop, the magical woman in her with the red scarf around her neck, and the werewolf in human form with his long dark hair. What began as a magical D/s relationship that had flourished through the years became so much more when they received a visitor one Halloween. Intensely sexual, demanding, and oddly, character building as they get to know each other better. This was definitely a Halloween story that was so intriguing and enthralling. It would be interesting to have another book following where this one left off, it was that good.
Dominatrix witch, submissive werewolf and over the top vampire. What will happen when the first two will be put out of their comfort zone by this vampire and nothing can be done to stop what will happen then - a one night of decadent love, kink, and submission. This might can bring Laurel (witch) and her pet werewolf closer or destroy them even after so many years together. What will be their future after this meaningful night? Will they grow apart or grow closer?
This was a riveting read, cleverly written it keeps you guessing…. This tale is based around two very strong, dominant male characters that take part in one night of mind-blowing submission, pleasure and a decadence that a regular mortal cannot even begin to envision. Laurel stone has a reputation that is well known she is not a lady to be messed with and she relies very heavily on her assistant and submissive who is called Corwin and they believe that they have found their niche and that happiness is within their grasp. They have endured centuries filled persecution and now that they have settled in Crescent Moon Springs where they have a business and friends that have no idea about their very long and dark past and they are more than happy to have things remain in the same vein however how often what is most desired fairly ever happens and without wanting to give too much away and spoiling the plot. The story has been very, very well written and it is based around Halloween and all that this time of the year can entail and when you also throw into the pot a collection of true ghosts and ghouls, witches and warlocks you can only envision that there is going to be plenty of magic and mystery to keep you on your toes and if there is one thing that Lilah E Noir is tremendously good at it is weaving a web of intrigue. Laurel has hidden her desire and needs for such a very long time and as her desire begins to rise so does the heat and along with it the sudden need for domination, the proud Mistress is beyond herself she is holding onto her feelings for Corwin but will these feelings be enough to hold her ? You will have to discover for yourself this is just so good you have got to read every bit of the plot yourself. I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.
This book is fantastic! It is the first book I’ve read by Lilah and I will definitely be reading more! A dark, steamy, sexy story about Laurel and her “pet’ Corwin. Together they run a little bookstore in a quiet town. He is a wolf shifter and has been with her ever since she rescued him from a life of pain. Things get difficult around Halloween when a stranger appears in the store and awakens things in Laurel she has tried hard to bury. She also fears how these feelings will affect her relationship with Corwin. Things go back to normal when the stranger, Severin, leaves the store but he promises he will be back and it will be sooner than she thinks. When he does return the night of the bookstore’s Halloween party, he wreaks havoc on Laurel, Corwin and their relationship and she is left worrying she has hurt Corwin too much to be forgiven in the aftermath of the night. When Severin returns months later, he forces them to face the truth of what happened that night while asking if they can see where things will go between them.
I am volunteering my honest review for an ARC copy of this book.
A bookstore and cafe with smells of spices that attracted the townsfolk and had such an emotional description, I felt I wanted to be able to go there and immerse myself in the decandence of those aromas. A woman with a red cape that wiggled her fingers and unseen things happened owned the store. Her companion, a tall handsome shaggy haired man ran the cafe for her and flirted with customers and contributed much to the success of the place. But after hours he was her pet wolf that obeyed and serviced her until the full moon. Then the feelings of kindness and the gentleness between them morphed into scenes of hot and steamy sensuality. But this full moon a stranger entered the store adding the scent of wine to the mix and changed the passionate and intimate dynamic between them dramatically into a night filled with wanton lewedness. Could the two of them survive the carnal encounter with this stranger? It was only one night! I loved the characters and the portrayal of their very distinct personalities. A wonderful book that while short included so much detail it didn't feel like one.
Blood and Spice was deliciously, dark mysterious PNR. Laurel and Corwin a mysterious couple arrived to the quaint town of Crescent Moon Springs and buy an old abandoned house on the hill.They both have been hunted in the past and are hoping for a new start.Now after extensive renovation that house is a very popular bookstore and cafe called Cinnamon Bookshop and a big hit with the town people and tourists alike. It has a magical aura and pull that makes people feel welcome. Everything is going wonderful with her and her "pet" in their new town until a mysterious man named Severin shows up. He will test their relationship and her dominance or better yet her submissive side she needs to let out if only temporarily. Their time together is dark,erotic, intense,suspenseful,dramatic and powerful. Their chemistry is palpable, undeniable, and melt your panties off hot.🔥 I would love to see a follow up book especially with that juicy little ending.
Just when you think a Ménage Book couldn't get any hotter, Lilah E. Noir kicks it up another notch with magic, lust and previously unfulfilled desires. Lauren and Corwin who have a history of being hunted due to what they are have made themselves a safe haven in the spa resort town of Crescent Moon Springs where the opened The Cinnamon Bookshop. Life seems perfect until they meet Severin, a mysterious stranger who will put Lauren and Corwin's relationship to a test. If you blush or display any other physical symptoms in response to reading erotica, be sure you are alone because this book has some deliciously erotic scenes that will leave you squirming in your seat needing your own release. The books ends with what I can only hope might be a lead-in to a follow-up book but regardless, this is one book you cannot miss.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.
Thank you for the ARC read, I voluntarily give this book an honest review. The little bookshop was Laurel and Corwin safe haven from the world that wouldn't understand their differences from the locals. A few may have been suspicious but over time they was just considers part of the cummituny. As mistress Laurel guarded Corwin every full moon once they joined together. How can you guard against forces more powerful then you? Laurel desires a master her self even as she is mistress to her little wolf, Severin just maybe that master if he doesn't break them. This book will have you spellbound in no time in the pages of Cinnamon Bookshop. From a kinky little witch to the suppressed desire of a wolf to the vampire that bring the pain and pleasure to life. I just loved the ending with Mark starting to come out of his shell.
Unusual witch, shifter, and vampire relationship!.
I have read other books by this author and eroticism shows quite well in this book. The characters of the witch, she's thousands of years old and her partner is a werewolf shifter. One day a handsome, sexy vampire enters the cinnamon bookstore. The cinnamon bookstore is owned and operated by the witch and the werewolf shifter. She recognizes right away the the erotic pull of the vampire, Severin. They have an evening of BDSM and menage a trois and Laurel, the witch, finds she enjoyed the evening that they all shared but had feelings of guilt about it. This story was exciting and titillating and I would love to read more of these characters.
An unusual story yet very sexy and entertaining. A reborn witch and a werewolf run a bookstore together in a small town ... The interesting thing about both of them is that they are not only partners, but also lovers and, even more unusual: the witch is the domme in the relationship. They live a quiet and content life until a very old vampire suddenly appears and seduces the dominant witch. It is a wild full moon night, when the witch gets her most secret wishes fulfilled, namely to submit from time to time. Quick read, entertaining and very hot sex scenes. A nice pastime for friends of paranormal romances.

This is my first book by Lilah E. Noir and I am impressed with the word building and the flow to the story. It has an darker edge with mystery, suspense, and a bit of drama. It has hot sexy scenes that are extremely descriptive. It is well written with beautifully developed characters. It draws you in with an intoxicating drawl of something great to come about. Laurel, Corwin, and Severin have a connection with such strong chemistry. Their chemistry can be felt throughout the story. It is an aphrodisiac like a beautiful smell. It is a must read.
To be honest that book was out of my comfort zone. That is the only reason I couldn't give more stars ✨ I am not really into hardcore stuff and this was teetering on the razorblade for me. I liked the writing though and there was kinda "spicy" hot scenes and I liked the ménage line. And I would be interested to continue reading Laurel, Corwin and Severin's story. Hopefully a bit more background for Sev. I would recommend definitely but for certain type of readers. This wasn't for the weak of hearts
Intense intriguing sensual storyline I loved this book by Lilah E. Noir. This book has an intriguing storyline. It is a fast read. Its a dark and sensual PNR story. Laurel is the female lead. Corwin is the male lead with an interesting second male lead coming in named Severin. Laurel and Corwin have been lovers for a long time and it has always been just the two of them until Severin makes his appearance. There are some pretty hot and intense scenes for these three. I loved it!
Cinnamon Bookstore is in a small tourist town ran by a with and her partner. Everything seems uppity up until Halloween, which happens to be a full moon. Let’s just say when a visitor comes to town and gets in her mind things all but get wild and crazy. Passion ~ Hate ~ Lust ~ Pain ~ Desire ~ Dominating ~ Submitting ~ sooo much Pleasure and much much more. This will definitely take you on a different sexually scene.
I received this as an ARC book for my honest and voluntary review.
I must say that Ms. Noir kept me glued to my Kindle for this paranormal novella. I was entranced by the characters. This book is not for the faint of heart; as there were some intense scenes. I expect that we'll being seeing Laurel, Corwin and Severin again! Ms. Noir, if there were no plans, please, change your mind! I need more of these three. There's so much more there, I just know it! I loved this story!
Lilah has done it again! A wonderful love story with a sexy dominant witch, a hunky gorgeous werewolf and a hot vampire Dom. This smoking hot book was definitely a page turner that you won’t be able to put down! I loved the strong and vulnerability written into the characters and the fantastic storyline! If you like to read BDSM, this is definitely one you don’t want to miss! I read this book for a fair review.
I m not one to read paranormal, Witch and Vampire stories but I decided to read this one because it was written by one of my favorite authors. This story is intense, steamy and somewhat dark at times. The character mix will take you on a wild ride! I was not disappointed it is a fabulous story! I honestly volunteered to review this arc.
It was so intense! Laurel and Corwin have been a couple for many years. Mistress and pet couple. Then Severin comes to the bookshop... He wants them both. Laurel sees a Master, but she doesn’t want to kneel...or does she? There were so many good things in this story. All things around the three of them. I want a follow up. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book
This was not what I expected. I liked the story so much I want to read more. This story can go on a couple more books. The sex was intense, hot, unbelievable. The characters engaged me, the story kept interested and I want to know what happens next. Please consider additional books I’m hooked.
Oh what a teaser. I loved it. The dominatrix witch is really kind of a switch. This is an amazing story because you felt the presence of doom, the heaviness in the air, the sense of foreboding. Brilliant and I hope there is more. Delightfully delicious.
I didn’t read the description of the book first. Male submissives usually aren’t my thing. But this book was wonderful. I love the dynamic between the characters. The only downfall for me is... I need more! I want to know what happens next. Pretty please.
Enjoyed the book. Loved Laurels character - wish author went into more depth with the character and the back plot - but loved the relationship between Laurel and Corwin. I would have liked to understand Severin’s background or role before he meets Laurel and Corwin.
Dominatrix Torn Between Her Duty and What She Craves
I loved everything about this book from the sweetness to the down and dirty! My dream of a bookshop and two dreamy men. All the nasty you can handle. I clenched almost the whole book!
I enjoyed this but found it a bit jumpy at times and I didn't get on really well with any of the characters. Usually I love Lilah's stories but this one missed the mark for me.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I have a few of Lilah's books, but to my shame, not read any until now. Great characters, well written storyline. Just enough kink to keep me interested. Would recommend, will read more of Lilah's books

Hot, kinky, delicious with lots of emotions. Intense and little dark, just how I like it. And good character development in short story. Excellent read!
Laurel walked away from the night she thought she would lose her life. After many years have passed she saves Corwin, a werewolf, and makes him her "pet". Laurel is a powerful witch but she can't get this mysterious man, a vampire named Severin, to leave them alone. After their Halloween party, Severin will show up, Laurel will have her world turned up side down when she finds out what it means to be submissive to a sexy, powerful vampire, and the man she has protected for a long time.
Sizzling hot, and sexy characters with some very dubious consent at times. I loved it!
